Mouseclick and KeyPress

[Donaldo]

Hello. I'm new the autoit and I have a question.

I understand the command.

MouseClick("right", 500, 452, 1, 20)

Presses right click on moust for 1 second on coordinate 500, 452. I still don't know what 20 is.

But how do I use keyboard?

I tried

KeyPress("s", 5)

What I'm trying to do is press S button for 5 seconds.

Anyone can give me a hand?

Hey there Donaldo, the 20 represents the speed of the click. Meaning the number you've set is how much it is delayed. And for pressing a key or simulating keystrokes try this code:

Send("{S}")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{S up}")

Hope that helps, Clipper34.

Hey thanks for the reply.

I tried your code.

Send("{S}")

Sleep(5000)

Send("{S up}")

What it did was pressed S for split second, then waited 5 seconds.

Then pressed S again.

What I want to do is press and hold S key for 5 seconds. Can you give me a hand again?

Try

Send("{S down}")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{S up}")
